Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I downloaded the following files from the site you pointed to
  selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.126.noarch.rpm
  selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.17.30-2.126.noarch.rpm
  policycoreutils-1.18.1-4.9.i386.rpm

and upgraded my distribution. Before installing the *sources* rpm, I
removed /etc/selinux/targeted/src completely to make sure that there
were no residual edited files.

Unfortunately, when I run 'make load', I run into the same problem as
I described earlier.

Do you have any other advice for things that I can try?

Thanks.
